ALUTA EXTRA! Senior civil servants demand a minimum wage of N46, 000

The Association of Senior Civil
Servants demanded a minimum wage of N46,000 for workers.

The union’s Secretary-General,
Mr. Bashir Lawal, in Lagos State, on Wednesday, said that the existing N18,000
minimum wage was too little to meet the socio-economic demands of workers.

According to him, they arrived
at a minimum wage of N46,000 per month after the union met with the National
Public Service Joint Negotiating Council.

He said,

“In the past one year, we
presented a proposal for salary review to the Federal Government but the
government said that the price of crude had fallen. “We argued that if the
price of crude is 30 dollars per barrel and the resources of the country are
well managed, money will be enough to pay workers decent salaries.

“From the memo we submitted to
the NPSJNC, we computed what it will take for an average worker to survive and
we arrive at N66,000. “So, we took 75 per cent of that and we arrived at
N46,000 minimum wage.

Lawal said that the new minimum wage demand
will not cause crisis in the economic sector, he said:

“If the government believes
that the amount will create crisis, we will tell them what to do to ensure that
everybody will be carried along.”
